Hey Guys-

I want to put together a sort of Bug Out Bag, it's not a SHTF I'm leaving home thing, but I want it to be capable of that also.......

It would be an expansion of what I carry everyday, A SIG 239, a folding knife, and a Zippo
I would like for this pack to be something I can walk in on Thursday evening after work and grab and walk out and go camping till Sunday....

Here's a list of things I figured to include

100 rounds of .40 S&W ammo
LED Flashlight
MultiTool
Fixed Blade Knife
Two Man Tent
Small Pack Sleeping Bag
Toilet Paper
A First Aid Kit
Fishing Line, Hooks, and sinkers
A visene bottle of bore cleaner and gun oil
2 rags of some sort
100 feet of para cord
1 space blanket
A small tarp (maybe)
Water (recommendations on amounts and how to pack?)
Camp meals or MRE's
Maybe a lightweight camp stove
Survival candles(2)
Batteries

I am specifically looking for recommendations on the pack to buy cause that will abviously be the first purchase......

I want to know what brands, where did you get them, price, alternates etc. I have no idea where I am going to get any of this so recommendations are great thanks.

Also what else would you guys include in your pack?

One other note this pack will be put to use in Southwest Va, outside of Blacksburg to be exact.

Thanks in advance.
